1955 DeSoto Firedome S22 Station Wagon

Description

This 1955 DeSoto Firedome S22 Station Wagon is a rare gem, capturing the essence of 1950s automotive ingenuity. The red and black two-tone paint job is bold, a true throwback to an era of style and substance. The body lines are complemented by 15-inch wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 Milestar Touring tires, ready to take on any road with confidence. The distinctive tailgate and chrome accents showcase the attention to detail that went into this full restoration.

Inside, the Firedome continues to impress. The black and white vinyl bench seats, accented with houndstooth inserts, create a striking interior environment. The aftermarket floating center console adds modern convenience without compromising the vintage aesthetic. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, while the original style DeSoto wheel, now with a leather wrap, and Lokar shifter enhance the driving experience. The cargo area features beautifully finished wood and metal flooring, adding to the wagon's charm.

Powering this remarkable wagon is the numbers-matching 291 Hemi V8 engine, a powerplant exclusive to the 1955 DeSoto Firedome. While the engine bay showcases a mix of original-style components and modern upgrades, such as an aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock EVS2 carburetor, and a 12V electrical system, it retains its authentic character. The 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission effortlessly handles the Hemi's power, delivering a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. The factory-style DeSoto suspension, featuring updated components, ensures a comfortable ride, while the power drum brakes provide confident stopping power.
